一、强调句句型
1. 陈述句的强调句型:It is/ was + 被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+ that/ who(当强调主语且主语指人)+ 其他部分。
e.g. It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.
2. 一般疑问句的强调句型:同上,只是把is/ was提到it前面。
e.g. Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?
3. 特殊疑问句的强调句型:被强调部分(通常是疑问代词或疑问副词)+ is/ was + it + that/ who + 其他部分?
e.g. When and where was it that you were born?
4.强调句例句:针对“I met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.”进行强调。
强调主语:It was I that (who) met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.
强调宾语:It was Li Ming that I met at the railway station yesterday.
强调地点状语:It was at the railway station that I met Li Ming yesterday.
强调时间状语:It was yesterday that I met Li Ming at the railway station.
5. 注意:构成强调句的it本身没有词义;强调句中的连接词一般只用that , who,即使在强调时间状语和地点状语时也如此,that,who不可省略;强调句中的时态只用两种,一般现在时和一般过去时。原句谓语动词是一般过去时、过去完成时和过去进行时,用It was …… ,其余的时态用It is …… .
二、not … until … 句型的强调句
1. 句型为:It is / was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其他部分
e.g .普通句:He didn't go to bed until/ till his wife came back.
强调句:It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
2. 注意:此句型只用until,不用till.但如果不是强调句型,till, until可通用;因为句型中It is/ was not …… 已经是否定句了,that后面的从句要用肯定句,切勿再用否定句。
三、谓语动词的强调
1. It is/ was …… that …… 结构不能强调谓语,如果需要强调谓语时,用助动词do/ does或did.
e.g. Do sit down. 务必请坐。
He did write to you last week. 上周他确实给你写了信。
Do be careful when you cross the street. 过马路时,务必(千万)要小心啊!
2. 注意:此种强调只用do / does和did,没有别的形式;过去时用did,后面的谓语动词用原形。
附: until 与 till 的区别 (两者都意为“直到……”)
1.till表示肯定,用于肯定句;而until表示否定,用于否定句。
2.until一般和not连用,以not……until为句式,而till一般单独使用。
3.例句:两个句子用法不一,但意思都是“在他回来之前,我是不会走的”。
e.g. I will be here till he comes back. 我将一直在这里直到他回来。
I won't leave here until he comes back. 我将不会离开这里直到他回来。
